ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

                     The Reporting Persons have acquired the Shares because, in
their opinion, such Shares are undervalued by the market at the present time
under the present circumstances. On September 17, 1999, the Company announced
its intent, to pursue, beginning immediately, a sale or other disposition of its
entertainment and aviation businesses. The Company described this restructuring
plan as a means to "ensure a solid operating platform for its Energy business
and enhance shareholder value." The Reporting Persons intend to closely monitor
the progress of this strategy.

                     The Reporting Persons may communicate with other
shareholders, management and their advisors and interested parties concerning
the restructuring plan described above or any other matter relating to the
business and affairs of the Company.

                     The Company issued "poison pill" Rights pursuant to an
agreement, dated as of September 20, 1990. According to the terms of this
agreement, the "poison pill" Rights (as defined therein) will expire on October
2, 2000. The Reporting Persons believe that the Company should allow the Rights
to expire and not reinstate the Rights or adopt any other "poison pill" without
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares.

                     The Reporting Persons may from time to time (i) acquire
additional Shares (subject to availability at prices deemed favorable) in the
open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or (ii) dispose
of Shares at prices deemed favorable in the open market, in privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise.

                     Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no
plans or proposals that would result in or relate to any of the matters set
forth in subparagraphs (a) though (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.


ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                     (a) As of the date of this Statement, the Reporting Persons
beneficially owned in the aggregate 4,820,500 Shares constituting 9.8% of the
outstanding Shares (the percentage of Shares owned being based upon 49,218,532
Shares outstanding at June 30, 1999, as set forth in the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1999). The Reporting Persons
may be deemed to have direct beneficial ownership of Shares as follows:
